Trash Bash Beachside

Sunrise Park beach access, Indialantic

Keep Brevard Beautiful had their Trash Bash today from 8-noon.  We had a school thing, however, we did our own Trash Bash at the beach.  We spent about an hour and a half picking litter and picking shells.  

We collected about 2 lbs of trash and 12 cigarette butts.

Spring Breakers are here!  Lots of teens and 20 somethings were enjoying our awesome weather. 80s F 20s C. We're glad that you're here but please be good to our beautiful Florida beaches.  If you brought it to the beach please take it with you when you go, that includes cigarette butts!  Thank you, enjoy your stay.

Man O' War- pretty poison

Sadly we came upon a dead sea turtle.  We reported it to the Sea Turtle Preservation Society- 321-676-1701- call this number in Brevard county if you find distressed or deceased turtles.   Poor thing had no head.  I suppose some predator made a meal out of it.  Life in the wild can be rough.  I can't watch those shows where you see lions hunting zebras.  It's brutal. I feel horrible for the poor zebra but a lion has to eat right?  

I'm happy with my vegetarianism.

Care for an olive?

I recovered 9 ft. of rope, giving me a new total of......1195 ft or 398.33 yds.

Got milk? Probably not.

KEEPING BREVARD BEACHES CLEAN FOR LOVE OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS

A spot just for you,
Sunrise Park, Indialantic

I scream, you scream, we all scream for... fish hooks?  My poor thumb.  I wasn't thinking as I enthusiastically ripped at a clump of dried seaweed to release the fishing line within. The discovery of a hook was announced by my scream.  It's only a flesh wound. 

The offending hook

Chop sticks with 'training wheels'

Can't blame drunkenness
for littering...

Got milk? Probably not

Goodness only knows what was actually in this milk jug.  The date was Feb '97.  It could have some horrific chemical in it now.  I learned from a city beach cleaner to never open anything, just throw it away.

He shared the story of having to close down half of Miami Beach years ago after some workers found a container that had washed in.  It looked like water, however, it was some awful chemical.  The guy that opened it passed out and fumes found their way into A/C units, causing mayhem.  

And really, who likes mayhem. 

Today we collected about 8lbs of trash and 24 ft. of rope.  New rope total: 1172 ft.  That next end-zone is coming into view.

Thanks for checking in on my blog.  The weather is still gorgeous.  Leave winter behind and join us for a Beach Hug here in Brevard.

Bye for now,

Beach Hugger.
